That is very disturbing.
Also, it really doesn't sound particularly consensual.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Good lord. I saw someone twitter something nonspecific like "how horrible about McKenzie Phillips!" and just assumed, you know, dead. I'm more horrified now.

She also said I'm a "top candidate". They can't make offers to more than one person at a time, right?
I don't think so, unless you decline or something hinky happens with the background check. They probably have to be cagey till that's through, and if they don't have a salary offer decided then... basically, she's telling you, you got the job, just sit tight till we get our shit together and can make you a formal offer.
That's my read on the situation, anyway.

ION, a student brought me a taffy apple and it was yum!
Oh, that reminds me--it's Dan's Caramel Apple time!! When Dennis Hastert was the Speaker, he would bring them to his fellow Congresscritters as a bribe/treat. They don't sell them after Halloween--I must go down to Joliet soon.
(They also make g-shaft candy. Childhood memories--yum!)

Answer: More than you'll ever be paid in publishing.
Sad but true. But it was a serious question that I would love to have opinions on.

I don't have a serious answer! All I can offer is mocking quips.

I know but I figured that someone with more office negotiating experience than we have could answer it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
megan, you made me go looking for info about NYC, where I learned that median household income in NYC in 2000 was about $38K, but Manhattan is mad varied:
This phenomenon is especially true of Manhattan, which in 2005 was home to the wealthiest U.S. census, tract with a household income of $188,697, as well as the poorest, where household income was $9,320
Median household income in my Queens neighborhood is about $42K, apparently. My personal income is higher than the median, but nowhere near the fancy Manhattan people.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I would not expect a single young professional to make less than $24,000. It would depend a lot on what profession, and where they were working.
